Preparation
Step 1
Pancake:
Step 2
Batter - Place the milk in a bowl. Sift the flour, cornflour and icing sugar in then whisk until lump free. Add eggs and food colouring, whisk until combined. It will be a very thin, watery batter.
Step 3
Refrigerate for 1 hour. (Note 3)
Step 4
Measure batter - Give the batter a mix (to stir in flour settled at bottom) then measure out 45 ml (3 tbsp) of crepe batter.
Step 5
Non-stick pan - Use a 18cm/7" non-stick pan (Note 4). Spray lightly with oil then heat over a medium low stove.
Step 6
Cook pancake - Pour the batter into the middle - it should sizzle very lightly - then swirl to cover the base in a thin layer. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the middle is set to touch. About halfway through cooking, start loosening the edges with a rubber spatula to ensure it flips out easily.
Step 7
Flip the crepe out upside down onto a large cutting board. GOAL: Surface is set, underside has no golden patches. (Note 5) Adjust heat as needed.
Step 8
Cook more! Spray pan with oil then continue cooking the pancakes. You can flip them out on top of each other.
Step 9
Cool - Full cool the crepes for 1 hour before using.
Step 10
Assembling:
Step 11
Cream - Just before assembling, place the cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a cold bowl and beat until stiff (about 2 minutes on speed 8 of a 10 speed hand mixer).
Step 12
Filling - Place a crepe on a work surface so the side that was in contact with the pan is facing up. (Note 6) Spread 1cm/1/3" thick layer of cream one-third of the way up the pancake, in the shape of a piece of mango. Top with mango.
Step 13
Roll, burrito style (see step photos or video), ending with the seam-side down. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
Step 14
Serve immediately! Mango pancakes wait for no-one (due to the cream).
